Phillip Addis

Phillip Addis has established himself as one of Canada’s finest and most versatile baritones. His range makes him at once “a superb Billy Budd…(whose) voice was virile, free and open” as well as “an impeccable antagonist” as Mozart’s Conte di Almaviva (most recently at Calgary Opera.) He is perhaps best known as “the ideal Pelléas of his generation” for his “erotically charged” performances as Debussy’s leading lover. Mr. Addis has performed on the world’s major stages, including l’Opéra National de Paris, LA Opera, the Canadian Opera Company, Semperoper Dresden, and the Hamburgischen Staatsoper, il Teatro Regio di Parma, il Teatro dell’ Opera di Roma, and the BBC Proms. In the 2022-23 season, Mr. Addis returned to cherished roles: Zurga in Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles with Vancouver Op
